MUN is an academic simulation of the UN where students role-play as diplomats of countries in different UN committees such as the WHO, World Bank, Security Council and others. The students debate and deliberate over burning global issues while exercising diplomacy through negotiations with fellow delegates and working towards passing a resolution on the given topic of the agenda. Model United Nations provides an excellent platform for students to expand their world view and develop a global perspective. It also develops vital skills that mould them into leaders. Some of the skills, among many others, that they develop, are:
- Public Speaking and Speech Making
- Negotiation Skills
- Persuasive Writing Skills
- Global Knowledge
- Convincing Ability
- Networking Skills
VIBGYORMUN is one of the most sought after and prestigious MUNs and provides students with an excellent opportunity to interact with representatives of various countries. The participants debate on and discuss world affairs, exchange ideas and views on the political, social and economic issues prevalent in the world.
In order to make MUN an enriching experience for students, we need to make them proficient in the various aspects of MUN such as conversations, debates, deliberations and presenting position papers. Hence the introduction of the VIBGYORMUN club which will prepare and equip them to face the challenges of MUN and become competent MUN participant through the VIBGYORMUN Club Training Programme. The sessions will be conducted in our school premises by the professional trainers who have experience of more than 10 years in conducting MUN sessions.
The core team comprises a set of distinguished individuals who are extremely well-read trainers, thinkers and public speakers. The trainers include university gold medalists, international level MUN and debate winners, official members of distinguished world bodies such as the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) and those with myriad other distinguished achievements.
The VIBGYORMUN Club Training Programme engages students in an insightful Model United Nations training programme and is open for students from Grades 6 to 12. We believe that starting early helps students to become champion MUN participant and gives them an edge over their peers.
The VIBGYORMUN Club Training Programme has a total of 5 sessions and one Mock session. The delivery of the programme is a step by step approach to give a detailed understanding of the UN and to develop necessary skills. Since its inception in 2013, the VIBGYORMUN Club has been training students using different methods such as:
- Library Research
- Using the Internet
- Presentations
- Constructive Feedback
- Mock Sessions
A soft copy of the MUN handbook is provided to every student, which can be referred to even after the programme concludes. The main objectives of the club are to:
- equip every delegate with the necessary skills and knowledge through case studies, mock sessions and MUN videos,
- build successful MUN teams which will represent their respective schools in different conferences,
- groom students to become Model Executive Board members,
- guide the students to organise a highly successful conference, which will provide an impactful experience to participants,
- make each delegate a role model for their fellow delegates.
Undisputedly, after such rigorous training, participating students will learn the intricacies of attending MUNs, the procedures that need to be followed during MUN sessions and how to interact with delegates from across the world.
